1. Each initial order is supplied with a scoop which measures out 100 mg. If you want to measure out 600 mg I would suggest using a 1/8 teaspoon measure (which is equal to 500 mg of DCI) plus one of the 100 mg scoops. I have no intention to obtain a 600 mg scoop as this would not offer the majority of women the degree of dose accuracy required. 600 mg is for most quite an arbitrary amount. Most of my customers take a dose which is customised to their own situation, taking into consideration factors such as weight, activity levels, carbohydrate intake, other medications or insulin sensitising foods, herbs or vitamins.

2. Yes, I am still shipping to the UK several times a week without any problems at all.

hi , i am wodering if yr DCI is made from carb or buckwheat. i have been reading lorna vanderhagues website and her glucosmart product looks amazing but they make from carob and i am wondering if/how that is different to yrs??????
cheers
i have inteeeense hirsuitism and am really accumulating belly fat , now 40 and hd baaaaad pcos as a teenager
would love to sort this all out! yr blog is awesome, thankyou so much

This DCI is extracted from the juice of carob pods. It is quite likely identical to Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s product, in that there are very few commercial DCI manufacturers in the world and most DCI is sourced from the same manufacturing chemist.

Thank you for your kind comments about my blog – I love to hear that it is making a difference to people!

Can you please tell me how your DCI compares with the commercially available ones in regards to price and dosage. I am looking for the most econoimcal way to buy, but also the easiest to administer. Capsules seem easier than scoops! Thanks.

There are only two commercial manufacturers of DCI in the world, to the best of my knowledge (not including those who manufacture exceptionally pure DCI for the scientific studies). So all retailers of DCI are just on-selling one of those two products.

Personally, I find the powder simpler than capsules because a) I already take enough capsules/tablets and don’t want to take any more and b) I can just tip my day’s dose into my water bottle and sip it throughout the day, so I get the dose spread throughout the day without any extra effort. As DCI is water soluble and quickly excreted by the body, this is more effective.

My DCI is guaranteed to be the most economical DCI in the world. If you find genuine DCI cheaper somewhere else, I’ll beat the price by 10%.

Grace, the DCI starts from $30 for 18 grams of pure DCI powder with a free measuring scoop (equivalent to 60 x 300 mg capsules) and is discounted for bulk orders down to as little as $299 for 216 grams, which is equivalent to $24.91 per 18 grams. Please let me know if you have any more questions. If you want to order, you can do so from: http://mypcos.info/1/treatments/dci/

Hi I have a question I am really confused, I have PCOS and my husband and I have been TTC our second child for 8 years now! I have recently learned about DCI. I am in the UK and want to try to take DCI going on what I have read, I cant find it anywhere (I can find plain inositol or Choline Inositol is this is the same?? If not how can I purchase the correct item? How much is it? I drink quite a lot of tea/coffee and I am reading that I need to stop that ASAP because coffee cancels the Inositol is that correct? I really appreciate any help that you can give me

It is different to myo-inositol. They are both inositol isomers but they have slightly different effects in the body.

There are many reasons to limit your consumption of caffeine, the most important of which is that it decreases insulin sensitivity, thus making PCOS worse.

It is true that caffeine can inactivate the myo-inositol isomer, however, the biochemistry of this interaction in vivo means that whilst that statement is technically correct, in practice it is not that simple. The odd tea or coffee is not going to deplete your body of inositol.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please let me know.

There aren’t any companies who have produced it that way. It was originally intended to be a prescription treatment for PCOS, by the company who did the initial research into it – Insmed. They called it INS-1 if you want to google it. They successfully made it through Phase I & II trials then decided not to pursue taking it to market for ‘commercial reasons’.

If DCI were to be available over the counter (and there are a few websites in America who sell it) it would be twice the price again. It’s a very expensive supplement and if you add further tiers into the distribution model, you need to increase the price. I import it directly, so there’s no middle-man wanting a cut. I expect that supplement companies have deemed it to be uneconomical to bring to the retail market in health food shops and chemists.

Another factor may be the lack of general awareness of DCI in the community. People may not know what it is and to look for it perhaps.

Anyway, that’s all just conjecture. The fact of the matter is, that it’s only available via a few websites worldwide for whatever reason. If you would like to buy DCI from my website, it’s available at
